Disaster Response

Response services begin immediately before, during, and after an incident. Priority shifts toward protecting life, stabilizing the situation, and maintaining critical services. During this phase, speed and coordination are especially important. Organizations often need to make decisions with incomplete information while resources are constrained.

Recovery begins once the immediate threat has stabilized and can continue for weeks, months, or years. There are typically two overlapping stages: short-term recovery, which restores basic functionality, and long-term recovery, which rebuilds communities and infrastructure.
